She won't poop in the potty

Aubrie will not poop in the potty. She wears big girl panties at home during the day and for the most part does really well. She pees every time we take her, and has even starting telling us she needs to pee. But for some reason she will not poop in the potty. Twice today I took her off the toilet, put her panties and pants back on, and she squatted and pooped. One time she even told me she was pooping. I dump the poop in the toilet and tell her that is where poop goes, but then she just gets excited and says, "poop in potty! poop in potty!" Any suggestions?

It takes time.. you just have to take her to the toilet a few times on a daily basis and ask her to do it in there if she needs to go.. ONE day she will! :D Mine is the same.. she will pee in the toilet but not poop..

I have not been on in a while and actually got on tonight to post this same problem! Jake is the same way. He will pee in potty but will not poop. He will even sit there for the longest time when I can tell he needs to go. He will sit there and still not go, but when he gets up and goes to play he comes running to me and with a very uncomfortable look and walk and has pooped in his pants. He doesn't even squat! He seems to hold it so long that it just finally starts coming while he is playing, I don't know what to do!

I had the same problem with mine...she was doing just fine with it until about July, then NOTHING in the potty, 10 minutes after I put her to bed I'd here "mommy I poopied."
Finally, a couple of weeks ago, her daycare teacher and another mom suggested trying a little laxative, Fletcher's or Miralax. So I got some Pedialax chewables and some Fletcher's. Until tonIght we've only had one accident and tonight was my fault...she hollered from bed that she needed to go, but recently she's used that as a ploy to get out of going to bed, so I ignored her...guess I won't be doing that anytime soon!

oh my goodness. my daughter is having the same problem. she is 100% pee trained. even overnight. only 1 or 2 accidents in like 3-4 weeks, but poop, forget about it!!! she poops on the floor, in her undies, we ask her about every 5 minutes if she has to poop, encourage her when she's on the potty to try and fart, nothing is working. i am literally at the end of my rope. i cannot keep cleaning up poop :(
